Happy recipe accidents. (or should it be successful recipe accidents?)
That's what I'd like to call this one.
I had originally set out to create a banana sour cream ice cream recipe like the title says, but
halfway through the ingredient lineup I saw I did not have any bananas.
No sweat I thought, I'll just swap out for another fruit.
No other fruit found but blueberries.
Not truly in the mood for a blueberry- sour cream.
But as I kept searching for other recipe swap outs I saw a whole pack of banana pudding.
Ripped one open, tasted it and knew it would work.
Those puddings have a lot of flavor in them and a lot of sugar, so I minused a few tablespoons of sugar out of the custard base.
I don't like ice cream too sweet and didn't want to drown out the flavor of the sour cream.
Did I say this was no cook custard?
And no egg?
So for those times when you want ice cream fast because it's 90+ degrees with high humidity, keep this recipe bookmarked.
Another great part is that you can try and use any pudding flavor you like.
There are so many puddings out there.
If I was to give this another go I would try that double chocolate mint pudding.
What flavor would you try?
I used the swiss miss banana pudding (4 of those packs or 16 ounces worth)
I just love how easy this was to throw together.
If you don't want to use pudding you don't have to.
You can sauté a couple bananas up with a couple dashes of lemon juice, puree them with the sour cream and add into the custard mix.

I am all about the no-cook and the happy accidents and for discovering things like this! I made no cook ice cream with cream and sweet cond milk a few weeks ago and have another recipe for it coming out this week :) I bet the flavor of yours is just amazing!

The ice cream looks terrific, but silly me -- when you said you had a pack of banana pudding, I pictured a box of the dry mix. I didn't catch on until I saw the photo of pudding cups. I've never had any so I don't even know what I'm missing. :((
